Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed related to generating an interactive user interface that enables a user to move, rotate or otherwise edit 3D point cloud data in virtual 3D space to align or match point clouds captured from LiDAR scans prior to generation of a high definition map. A system may obtain point cloud data for two or more point clouds, render the point clouds for display in a user interface, then receive a user selection of one of the point clouds and commands from the user to move and/or rotate the selected point cloud. The system may adjust the displayed position of the selected point cloud relative to the other simultaneously displayed point cloud(s) in real time in response to the user commands, and store the adjusted point cloud position data for use in generating a new high definition map.
